If you were to believe the mainstream media, nobody likes anything in Labour’s Budget.
This YouGov suggests that's BS and that more people think the policies were right than wrong, some overwhelming so;
Of 15, 8 are 50%+ right, 4 are 50%+ wrong.
That's quite an achievement in itself.

70% of the additional spending from removing the two-child limit will go to families who are in work. This is targeting support for low-income working households who are being priced out of a decent standard of living despite doing everything asked of them.

The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.

This Government has hugely increased public spending, which will have large in-kind benefits for households.
Families across the income distribution will benefit, but poorer households will benefit more as they use public services more, and these represent a larger proportion of their income.
